In overgrown brush, lush, she sitsand waits amidst the thrush like chorus of outer work and inner work and the silent science of it all,

cultivating flora framework for the growth and fare and fair of vintage vineyard so she may one day drink abundantlyand have herfill. Bursting forth, exploding bloom, she surveys the work and knows full well that much has come from one who started out with nothing. Noontide shimmers, glimmers graciouslywith much ado, aiding progress and she notices now the need, the speed that brought, propels and gives. With singleness of heart, she diligently shears – allows- that she, herselfmight be grafted into this prized place that she adores. It’s voiceless here ‘cept for the whisper of the wind which she recognizes well and she’s the only creature here and therefore safe. She’s untamed and breathing, coming into life, domesticated,not. It’s the sky that will train her. She’ll take hercues from hues and clouds, gladly gulping rain. The wide world waits but she has no wish to leave her habitat of heaven where, light, she’s buoyant body. She knows not themeaning of inhalation but steady, focused anyway, she swills the air. Staying is what she seizes, understands and toil, instrumental which brings her rest.

Showersstream, minglingwith tears she can notfathom, saturated so, by so much sufficient satisfaction. How can she know so much and so little and still be still? It’s the versant, virescent variegating of veined but violet vision where introspection ripens into more than speculation and all is bare but beautiful and beckons, bright. She doesn’t see her skin here; it’s pallid colored but still allowed to blend with seed or star and she lodges, burrowed, anchored to exist in absence of herself.

Very neat. I really like a lot of what you've done here. First off, I love the way you arranged the text, I play around with line placement all the time, for both the obvious artistry and aesthetics it created but also as it creates a guiding path and a natural flow. The rhyme is subtle at times, a bit more obvious at others, love the way you worked the rhythm evenly between external and internal rhyme. Some incredible use of language and some nice assonance/consonance as well. Very nicely done. Thanks
